Stories from Downtown
Egyptian Clothing Bank's upcycling show turns donated garments into design
The fourth From Waste to Good Taste exhibition, at The Factory in Downtown Cairo, turned donated clothes into installations. It also ran alteration workshops and sold upcycled pieces from the social enterprise Almah, a sign of Cairo's growing circular-fashion scene.

Yehia El-Fakharany's King Lear passes 200 shows at Cairo's National Theatre
Shady Sorour's production stars El-Fakharany in a role he first played in 2001. It runs Thursday to Sunday at 9pm in Attaba. Tickets cost EGP 60–110 and are sold only at the box office from 4pm, a rare chance to see a stage legend.

Downtown Cairo's 'Art Street' puts free music and performance on the street every weekend
Launched around the Bourse triangle and El-Sherifein Street, the initiative from the Academy of Arts and Cairo Governorate puts on free shows every Thursday to Saturday. Expect live music, puppetry, tanoura dancing, portrait artists and crafts. It's an easy evening add-on to a downtown walk.
